What are the rules of Cricket?

Cricket is one of the most challenging darts games to explain but once you get it, it's super fun and strategic.

There are six targets available on the board to score on (16,17,18,19,20,Bull). Before you can start scoring on a target you first need to "open" it. You do that by hitting the same target 3 times. Doubles count as two hits, trebles count as three hits. Once the target is "opened", then it's yours to score on. Your opponent can't score on this number now. Instead, they must try and hit it three times to "close" it and prevent you from scoring.

The game keeps going until all numbers are closed and the winner is the player who ended with most points scored.

Cricket is all about deciding if you're going to try and open, close or score in each round. And that depends on what your opponent is doing in return.

And don't ask why it's called Cricket. No idea.
